<\/span>Pesto Chicken Salad<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
Swap out the mayonnaise in your typical creamy chicken salad for pesto, and you\u2019re in for a mouth-watering, nutritious, meal-worthy salad that will invigorate your evening. If you have the chance, prep this dish the night before so the yogurt-pesto dressing has a chance to deeply infuse into the chicken.<\/span><\/div>\n
